The Event screen is used to enter information to create a new snow event or to view or edit information for events that you have created in the past. When you create weather events, you are logging events that recently occurred in preparation for invoicing.

The Event screen is available from the following locations:

Selecting Add Event from the three dots menu on the Batch Screen
Clicking the New icon on the Events Search List screen
Clicking an item in the list on the Events Search List screen to view or edit the existing event.

Screen Element	Description
Event Name	Required. Name of the event.
Branch	Required. Specify the branch to which the weather event applies. Only branches to which you have access are available.
Event Type	Event type. Options on the selection list are defined on the Event Type screen in Admin. Commonly, the only option available will be “Snow.”
Location	Required. Describe the area affected by the event.
Start Date/Time	Required. Allows you to specify the date and time at which the event began. Click the Calendar icon to set the date, and click the Clock icon to set the time.
End Date/Time	Required. Allows you to specify the date and time at which the event began. Click the Calendar icon to set the date, and click the Clock icon to set the time.
Zip Codes	This field allows you to specify a list of zip codes impacted by the weather event. The zip codes available for selection are those on properties in the selected branch for which work tickets have time or materials allocated during the time range of the event. This means that the branch, start time, and end time must be filled in before the zip code list will be properly populated. If there is already an existing event whose time period overlaps a new event being created, then zip codes assigned to the first event will not be available for the new event.
Description	Allows you to provide a description of the weather event.
Attachments	Select the Upload button to add an attachment to the event. Clicking on the camera icon will allow you to take and upload a new photo. Attachments are frequently documents or photos that provide additional information. When you select the upload button, Aspire displays the Upload Attachment screen. The hyperlink icon shows the number of attachments saved for the event. If there are attachments, clicking the hyperlink will display the Attachments screen providing a list of the existing attachments that can be edited or removed from the event.
